DNN TAG Meeting 9-18-2018

The
DNN Technology Ecosystem Advisory Group continues to meet on a weekly basis mapping out the future
of DNN. The meeting agenda and minutes are shared here in blog entries so that everyone can see the progress being made and conversations
occurring in the group.

This September 18th meeting saw discussion around the DNN 9.2.2 release candidate, communications with the community,
security, and more!

Dnn 9.2.2 RC updateDnn 9.2.2 RC was updated last week, testing on ESW side is done, targeting beginning of next week for the normal release. Please download and test it in a non-production environment and report any issues.

Do we dedicate a meeting every 6 weeks to specifically discuss long term goals.This discussion is postponed to next meeting. But we need to create some kind of bucket to hold items planned for long term goals.

Do we implement something to collect a global idea of availabilities (vacations, etc.)We discussed using Milestones and Tags to manage this. We also discussed assigning people to issues if they are working on them to prevent having two persons working on the same issue without knowing it. We need a way to group related issues (such as GDPR related issues), we discussed using tags, milestones, related issues and Projects. We will try to do it using a project first and see if that fills the need.

Testing scenariosThere was a document describing specific test scenarios. The team discussed either building upon that document (which we do not have now) or starting a new one from scratch.

Google Analytics ConnectorMike Smeltzer submitted a pull request for a new Google Analytics connector, which should be included in Dnn 9.3, the team discussed options regarding GDPR compliance (IP anonymization) and the possibility of improving or building another connector for Google Tag Manager.

Addendum / Open Forum

GDPR Cookie consentSebastian spoke to Geoff Barlow, he may be donating a cookie consent module to Dnn, that we may integrate in the core project. We will continue this discussion next week.

Workflow APIWe started discussing improving the workflows API and building a platform UI for managing it. (This is probably a long term goal and might only come back on the long term dedicated meetings)
